Wriggle away and have drone continue to fire at them.

Other drones move to keep the robots away and block them from getting to me. Pretty much have the drones form a shield around me and block the robot's fire and movement

Try to back up data and get brains to at least survive.

Note to self just bring one machine gun, the mortars, particle cannon, and antimaterial rifle. And to reinforce the ankles

I do think I have a chance to survive this fight if i get lucky, either way I can't fight the remaining supersoldiers. Just gonna screw over my opponent too

Also how hard would it be to get one of these: http://suidobashijuko.jp andd hook it up with something similar to the drone controllers so I could control it with a brain?

Arm it with a particle cannon and an anti material rifle. And can I replace the metal plating with armor matching that on me?
And give it stealth systems

You know what, fuck it. Let's just replace half the drones with these things, giant fucking mecha heaven!

And yes you can buy that: https://www.amazon.co.jp/水道橋重工-SHI-KR-01-クラタス-スターターキット/dp/B00H6V3BWA/ref=sr_1_3/354-2218185-8974749?s=hobby&ie=UTF8&qid=1478219498&sr=1-3

Spoiler: Plan of action and Killerhellhound's thoughts: "We did not train for this" (click to show/hide)

Damn cannons. Cooling out. Can't maintain active power. Going to hibernate. Finish him off, guys...

I've lost sight, targeting, and navigation. Can't engage target. We need to finish him quickly. He's suicidal, he won't consider surrender.

we did not plan for situations quite like this. none of our training would help now.

thankfully, we are, still, a genius.

Ben, get on the ground, brace like a turret, and sync up for two-way IO stream. I'll be your eyes and targeting. Give him everything you've got.

Gunther will move to Ben's vicinity and use the mind-link to feed targeting and imaging data as Ben requests it, effectively letting Ben "borrow" his cameras and SPU. Ben will use that data to pump as much lead hyper- and super-alloy into the robot as possible, using both sidearms (that should have still been in the holsters, hopefully) and the autocannon. Carl will conserve power and try not to generate heat.

David and Henry will hopefully make their way to this location, too. Whichever way the fight goes, we definitely need to regroup.

((GM Note: We didn't get an update on D and H this turn, by the way. What were they up to?))

Good plan and hopefully D and H manage to group up soon

They are doing exactly what they they were told to do. Nothing much to say about that.

One more overcharge shot to the center of mass.
If that puts him down for good, then sprint-parkour over and grab his gun (check for traps first of course). Otherwise curse silently and find a new place to hide.

Keep one drone tracking the robot dogs, and keep a drone watching the cloud.

What will the three other you do? And you have drones too if you want to use them for scouting.

((I just realized, this fight we're in right now, is basically a pack of combat RT's trying to take down one of Saint's Assault Suit robobodies.))

On Monday I looked at this and though "This feels like a job, I don't want to do this". Yesterday I thought "I missed a day without word, too akward to say anything today". And it was actually nice to have some free time for once. Two and half months after starting this we are still not done even with first testing round. I tried to accelerate things, but failed completely.

So I dediced to finish this testing round in two turns, and to reach that goal I want to hear what kind strategy you (remaining active soldiers) will employ. What kind of tactics you will use?

[spazyak]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Eliminate remaining cat bots using unarmed drones as a shield around me and use particle cannon to blast them to bits

drag remains of self into cover

Use half remaining drones that have no ammo  to keep watch over suroundings or protect me as a shield,

particle cannon remaining cloaked until they detect a supersoldier at which point they open fire,  cloak, move, and fire again until hostile is confirmed dead.

Drones remaining over body to protect it remain cloaked

If I somehow survive, celibrate

[Sean Mirrsen]

Yeah, some things are just not accelerate-able too well. By all right the encounter between us and spazyak should have been over in one "turn" if it were supposed to go in minutes, but I know how hard it is to write "encounters" on full auto.

Spoiler: As far as tactics (click to show/hide)

The still-active members of the attack group would try to destroy/deactivate the killer robot by any necessary means. Gunther and Ben would team up to fire the cannon, maybe stuff some grenades into the exposed chest cavity, that sort of thing. Hopefully at some point Henry and David would join in and maybe take down that last flying cannon. Check where the weird soldiers went off to and kill them.

I want to think that at this point it's not a question of whether we'll win against spazyak, but what will be left of us when we do. Some time will be spent on triage as the other combatants are fighting - sifting through rubble and assembling all of "our" tech that can still be salvaged. If there is enough left to try and at least run interference on the enemy (i.e. there are at least three active units; Carl isn't one at the moment), some repair/reorganization will be attempted. Mount David's cannon onto Gunther's back, see if Gunther's visor can be fitted on Carl's head to let him see, and if Ben's SPU (we did all come off an assembly line) can be used to replace Carl's. That sort of thing. If one of the particle cannons can be salvaged and hooked up to a power supply, make sure to try and do that. We'll need all the firepower we can get our rapidly diminishing hands on.

If there isn't enough of us left (i.e. one mobile unit, with several immobile/incapacitated), do what can be done to fulfill the mission requirements. Gather all enemy tech we can find, take what we can, attempt to thoroughly destroy the rest. Hijack a car for transport if need be. Then leave the area.

If there's enough of us left, organize into a fire/scout team and locate the remaining enemies. Goad them into fighting each other if they aren't already, stay sneaky, use our brains to analyze their weaknesses and run interference against whichever side seems hardest to defeat on our own. Hit and run/guerilla tactics only, at least until one of the sides is defeated. If we're down to one opponent that is too hard to defeat, send the least combat-capable of us away to secure retreat and preservation of intel, and attempt to engage with whoever is left. If it seems our chances are decent, engage with everyone. Use velociraptor tactics as before - least capable unit as bait then focused fire from an unexpected direction.

Spoiler: Tactics (click to show/hide)

Overcharge shot at my current target, center of mass.
Try to get that target's weapon.

Use the drones for surveillance, try to keep at least one near each known supersoldier.
Stay at long range and be a sneaky sniper, sniping vulnerable targets. Be cautious and run away and find a new perch whenever current one is compromised.
Use dazzle whenever possible.
If long range sniping isn't working, get to melee as fast as possible. If in melee use speed and agility to my advantage and be a ninja.
